Stated Objective(s)
The students will be able to: · use pictures to represent and solve addition and subtraction stories · differentiate between addition and subtraction number stories · use the +,-, and = symbols to write number models for their own number stories · manipulate MaxWrite to create a page for a class number story book
Procedures for Lesson
Prior to this activity the students will have had many opportunities in the classroom to create and act our story problems. This activity fits in well with Unit 7 in Everyday Math. In addition, the students will be familiar with Max Write. Begin by having the students sit in a circle in the classroom with manipulatives available. Present a number story on the SMART Board. Have the students brainstorm ways to solve the number story. Have students show how they solved the problem by explaining it in words, showing manipulatives under the document camera, and/or drawing a picture on the SMART Board. After practicing both addition subtraction problems, the teacher will take the students into the computer lab and seat them in front the SMART Board. The teacher will review how to access MaxPaint and MaxWrite. The teacher will then demonstrate, with student volunteers, how to use Max Write and Max Paint to create a number story. The students will then use Max Write and Max Paint to create their own stories. The students will choose to either create an addition problem or a subtraction. The students will stamp and/or draw the number story in Max Paint. The students will then write a number sentence to go along with the picture. When the students finish, they will print their stories for a class book.
Assessment or Evaluation
Students will demonstrate their learning through the completion of a number story for the class book. Students will sit down with the teacher and explain their number story.
Enrichment
Students may also try writing their problem out in words on the computer using MaxWrite. Students may create both an addition and a subtraction story. Students may explore Everyday Math games on the internet for further practice at http://www1.center.k12.mo.us/edtech/edm/K.htm.
